When fear is allowed to prevail over reason and tolerance, there are always consequences...
Cry of Innocence tells the story of The City, a mythical realm there the apparent harmony is controlled by the powerful and the workers work for free. This is how it has always been and no-one can imagine anything different. However, when a rift breaks open within the community and the false harmony is shown up for what it is, passionate unrest leads inevitably to violence and the consequences that follow are profound. An opera for the 21st Century,
Cry of Innocence is inspired by contemporary events, but the truth at the heart of the tale is as old as mankind.
